The totally off-topic thread

[Denali]

Spent ages updating our department website to make sure all new staff were listed. Someone has been "helpful" and completely undone all my work. Removed everyones titles, demoted lab heads down the list and somehow I've become the very last person to get a mention. So disappointed.

The rage....

The rage....

Very cranky, especially the way it categorised people (ie had lab heads listed as junior to some students). Fortunately a quick fix and I'm no longer at the bottom of the list.

was it 'wiki' style?

Yeah its WYSIWYG; quick to edit but no roll-back for when someone stuffs it us. Just hoping I havent missed any staff members as many had been erronously removed.

So Warner is copping a more serious charge than De Kock.
"Warner has received a Level 2 charge which carries the possibility of a one match suspension.
......
Sources told The Australian that Warner will almost certainly receive three demerit points — one short of a suspension — and a large fine.
South African Quinton De Kock will receive a Level 1 change which carries 1-2 demerit points and a fine for his role in the affair."

Yeah. Warner has been caught saying more than what he’s admitted to, on video.

The bull is no reverend. A few people in the know have already said it does not look good and there are people still sticking up for a serial offender. Argh!

Someone suggested on FB to remove Turkish Delights from the Cadbury Favourites pack, cue internet meltdown and name calling. Over Turkish delights.

Turkish delight is my fav.

Not mine but there are too many other goodies to worry about it. Hubby likes Turkish delights so more for him.

I use to regularly visit Auburn and there was a fantastic Turkish choc shop that I would get him a box of different flavours.

Has to be covered in chocolate though.

I like more traditional flavours especially rose water. Yum.
That’s not to say I turn up my nose at the choc covered bats though.

Fry’s Turkish Delight. Yum. I think that might be rosewater?

 

[Denali]

I recall the shop had lots of flavours and they were dusted in a powder as well as choc. Haven't been there in years.

Real Turkish Delight supply Australia with authentic Turkish delight made from traditional recipe and freshest ingredients

There's a fabulous Turkish delight shop at Prahran market. I love the pomegranate flavour they do .

When does it reach absurdity that a footy player (rugby league), clearly a thug, who breaks into an apartment in NYC and attacks the residents and refuses to pay the court awarded compensation (why is he not in jail?) is given a new well paid contract to play for the Broncos and they claim “everyone needs a second (third, fourth..) chance” just because he can carry a pigskin ball?

Why is he not in jail or banned from the “sport”?

What have we come to? What example does this set to the younger thugs in football?

Yes. I know that one. They used to have sample bowls out in front but now they are behind and you have to ask.

Agree totally. Did he ever go to jail? He owes the family over a million dollars. I’d say Roid Rage. He’s huge. 22 years old. I give him 6 months.

Isn't turkish delight the one that sticks to teeth?
